2) Since I did the updtes my Hello IM doesnt work. Did this happen to anyone else? How can I fix it? =( that's prtty much the only app I use and it sucks now that it won't let me sign in!

I'm having a wierd issue with adding any app to the top right position on the third home screen. Anyone else with the same/similar issue? Tried searching for this but didn't turn up anything...

Yes, but I'm having the issue on ALL screens. Some icons seem to be too big and if you can't place them in the middle of the screen, it throws them to the side and into oblivion! This is happening if I drop a new one onto the screen, or even try to move some icons. Note to all of the people that will tell us "I've never had that problem dude, you must be doing something wrong", it isn't every icon - but some do (lol - can you tell I'm frustrated by the fan boys? :P )


I still wish that moving an icon off to the left or right of the screen would let you move it to that screen.

I had the same problem, there were two spots on the main screen that I could not move icons too, the spots above, and below worked fine. A shutdown and restart fixed the problem.
 
I Installed Froyo 2.2 using OTA on my Motorola Droid. My battery power suddenly decreased and I have to charge it constantly now. Also, it won't keep a charge beyond 30%. In addition, my battery is extemely hot all of the time.

Is there a way to revert back to rom 2.01 or what ever it was prior to this update.

There have been a few posts about uninstalling any 3rd party Task Killers you might have. It seems the 2.2 has better app management and that the task killers are sucking up the juice. Could also be why the battery is so hot - something is running your cpu really hard. Go to Settings - Applications - Running Services and see what's running.
 
okay i got a couple of questions. 1, i have google listen installed and everytime i run it it starts two seperate processes. if i kill one, they both go.. then i start it again and theres two listed in my taskiller. [subquestion: anyone use google listen? since the update fast forward or rewind just starts the podcast over.. this happen to you too?) second question: for anyone that tethers via app/hack (i.e. not paid for) have you ever incurred charges later on your bill? what kind of browsing would u do while tethering.. torrents? etc.

help. thanks in advance

I don't know about google listen, but the tethering - if you bought the phone before 2.2, most likely your data package does not cover tethering. The new phones, the ones advertised for tethering, have it included in their package (I don't know if there is a cost difference though), but it doesn't roll backwards to us early phone owners.
 
Since the Droid update this past week, my battery has drained completely every night, even after being fully charged and running app killer shortly before sleeping. I did leave the browser open last night when I set it down. I have left many apps open before, and it would never die overnight.
Any thoughts? Have others experienced this too?

Battery usage shows 72%-Voice calls and 16%-Android OS, 5%-Display, 3%-Cell standby, 2%-Android System, 2%-Phone idle.

Model number: Droid
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband version: C_01.43.01P
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g103d848 Android-build@apa26#1
Build number: FRG01B
 
Task killers and ap killers defeat the main OS features of Android. If you kill a task and Android thinks you might use it, it will reload the task in anticipation. If ou have your task killer set to kill it, it will and Android will reload it. Android OS has very sophisticated task and memory management. Let it do its thing. The only thing it can't handle is a misbehaving app and you shouldn't have that installed anyway.

Android OS is not Windows.

Also, using the Home button leaves an application running. Using the Back button will close the task completely.

By the way, my battery life is much better with 2.2 than it was with 2.1.
 
Hello Everyone,
i'm Running into an issue and wonder if this is the best place to ask W/O opening
a new Thread. i just recieved a Notice that i have an update of the
Froyo 2.2 for my Droid 1 and it's not even connected to my service, as i have a DX that i bought to replace it... but my Droid 1 still has internet.

My question is this...
I want to copy the update file to my SD card but don't know where to find it on my Phone. i have Astro and OI file managers.

Can anyone help me?
 
Has anyone else had problems with the proximity sensor? I just now had 3 dropped calls cause my cheek would hit the end call button. never ever once had this issue before since the day I got my droid last November.

Thanks!

I have the same problem now too. Doesn't happen often but it does. Have also hit Mute and Speaker a couple times too.
 
Hi,
I updated the new 2.2 update and afterward my phone restarts and when i press my phone icon it saids application is not installed. Same thing happens when i press my phonebook. Please help with and helpful suggestions. thank you
 
Sharing the pain by having pretty much every battery issue listed here, too: Takes FOREVER to charge, one of my docks won't charge it at all (yes, I'm in the process of trying an alternate cord for the dock, but the cord without the dock works okay), battery drains very, very quickly.

Last night I tried charging from a total drain and the phone would power up, make a bleeping noise and shut down. Did this five times before I moved it to a different charger. Weird.

Have had some issues with downloading app from the market, as well. They often hang during download and have to be force closed and restarted.

Beautiful Widgets won't load at all - hangs every time - and now I've passed the get a refund point. I'd rather just have it load. Anyone have an email for Beautiful Widgets? they don't list one on their website.

If you created shortcuts on your screen, often times you'll have to delete and redo them.
 
All, Touchdown on my HTC stopped working once Froyo moved in. There seems to be a disconnect when the Touchdown app tries to read the certificate that I have installed so that I can pick my mail/calender etc off an exchange server. Any thoughts to get this fixed?

Since being forced to update to Android 2.2 my phone is TERRIBLE! I'm so frustrated. Here are my major concerns:

1. My battery life is vastly decreased
2. Every time I turn the screen on there is an unbearable lag time while the phone loads this ridiculous cloud animation that I can't figure out how to turn off.
3. I can no longer take my phone from ringing to vibrate to silent without going into the mother*(&U* settings and changing when I want the phone to vibrate (unbelievably inconvenient!!!)
4. Screen responsiveness is terrible. To cycle back and forth between home screens i am virtually forced to use the little dot dot buttons because I can't "slide" between screens effectively anymore.
5. Everything runs more slowly, and haltingly, making me feel like I have a cheap piece of crap phone.

All of these things were non-issues before the system update. I am a huge proponent of google and use as many of their services as possible but I have never been so disappointed as I am now. I can barely stand to use my phone now and I used to be so proud of it
